It is very self-evident from this arrangement alone that Princess Tila had deliberately arranged everything to achieve the perfect show for all the spectators to watch.

"No wonder Princess Tila had given both Edi and Makky a spot to choose their opponents," Leo thought to himself. He was really curious why Edi and Makky were chosen when their presence from the very beginning was only to make up the numbers. But now, he finally understands that this was because Princess Tila plans to make Edi and Makky fight the other two, while the three of them, specifically him, Selina, and Osborne, were to fight against Edgar Pierce, Eme Clarity, and Faye.

It wasn't only Leo who had realized this, but also the other nine players as well.

"We are going to start all the fight at the same time, so ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the show," Elmont announced the start of the Battle Competition before quickly flying up along with Princess Tifa and Princess Tila using their flying platform, intending to observe the fight from high up in the air.

As soon as Elmont's voice died down, the respective staff in charge of the five fights immediately issued the beginning of the Battle Competition.

"You better not hold back against me just because I am a girl, Guild Leader Loki," Eme Clarity said while bowing her head to Guild Leader Loki as a sign of respect to her opponent.

"Rest assured, I am not the type of person that will hold back just because I am dealing against a woman," Leo responded while also bowing his head.

In the next moment, both Leo and Eme Clarity lunged themselves towards each other. 

Waving his hand, Leo swiftly took out a few daggers. Using the momentum of his hand, he shot the daggers straight towards Eme Clarity's direction.

Seeing Guild Leader Loki's action, Eme Clarity quickly equipped herself with the armor set she had prepared for the Battle Competition. She had purposely not shown it to everyone just now so they wouldn't be able to prepare anything beforehand to counter against her.

Whooosh!

A striking bright light suddenly covered Eme Clarity's entire figure as it wrapped around her body. 

Leo was already very familiar with what this sight was, "I didn't expect that you have a Magic Garment prepared for the Battle Competition, Eme Clarity,"

"Oh, so you know what this is? Then you'd better run away while it is not yet too late," Eme Clarity said before letting out a soft chuckle. 

After Eme Clarity finished her line, the light covering her body finally disappeared, allowing Leo to see a silver-colored armor that wrapped her from head to toe.

"Too bad, though, that you are not the only one who is wearing a Magic Garment," Leo smiled mischievously before a bright light covered his entire figure. Not long after, his ordinary clothes turned into a black mantle with a few armor pieces located on the vital locations of his body.

"You...!" Eme Clarity expressed her disbelief.

"Base on how your armor looked like, your Magic Garment should only be at 5-Star level," Leo said after a quick observation. 

"This is more than enough to defeat you!" Eme Clarity exclaimed as she swung her sword towards Guild Leader Loki.

To Eme Clarity's surprised, Guilder Leader Loki didn't show any intention of blocking. Instead, he seemed too eager to receive her attack head-on. 

Banggg!

A muffled explosion sounded as Eme Clarity's sword made contact with Guild Leader Loki's armor. However, what she expected to see didn't happen, as her sword wasn't able to penetrate his armor. 

"This..."

"As much as I don't want to, but a certain someone with the name Lance made me a Magic Garment using a 9-Star level Magical resources," Leo explained before punching Eme Clarity's abdomen while simultaneously casting, "Fireball!"

Boom!

Eme Clarity's figure immediately flew a few meters away from Leo after hitting her with a Fireball spell at point-blank range.

Not waiting for Eme Clarity to make a counterattack, Leo quickly chased her figure, still in flying motion. He intended to continue with his attack, thus preventing her from making any moves.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Leo didn't show any mercy as he continued to throw punch after punch towards Eme Clarity along with Fireball spells, causing her figure to continue flying away. 

Fortunately for Eme Clarity, her Magic Garment prevents most of the damage that Leo has caused. This is because his Fireball spell is merely in 1-Star level, whereas her Magic Garment is 5-Star level. 

"Earth Wall!" Eme Clarity swiftly cast while in mid-air to block Guild Leader Loki's path forward and prevent him from continuing his assault.

Whoooooosh!

Leo quickly jumped back to avoid the earth wall that had suddenly appeared in front of him. 

On the other hand, Eme Clarity didn't hesitate to use this opportunity to pick herself together and launch her own attack, "Water Jet!"

Whooosh! Whoooosh!

Two jets of water shoot towards Guild Leader Loki's direction. 

"As you have already seen, 1-Star level Magic spells are nothing but useless in front of our Magic Garments," Leo said as he slowly approached Eme Clarity.

Banggg! Banggg!

Two explosions sounded, followed by a splash of water as the two jets of water hit Leo's armor.

"This is unfair!" Eme Clarity exclaimed while slowly taking a step back.

"Yeah, I know. But you are also wearing a 5-Star level Magic Garment. So, me wearing this 9-Star Magic Garment is to simply make the fight fair and just," Leo shrugged his shoulder. 

"How can that be even fair?!" Eme Clarity objected before explaining, "Your Magic Garment is basically four levels higher than mine!"

"Then how about I propose you something," Leo stopped in his tracks.

"I don't want to! The last time I listened to your proposition, it ended up with the Clarity Noble Household owing you something," Eme Clarity didn't hesitate to shake her head.

"Don't worry, my proposition this time would be to the advantage of both parties involved. As a matter of fact, it is about both of our attacks having no effect on each other," Leo said in assurance.

Hearing Guild Leader Loki's words, Eme Clarity felt a bit intrigued, making her have second thoughts. But it still didn't change the fact that she really doesn't want to hear another proposition from Guilder Leader Loki nonetheless. Reluctantly, she said, "Okay, let me listen to it. But I'll make it clear first, if ever your proposition is unfavorable to me, then I won't accept it no matter what! I'd rather have the situation remain the same than turn the table to your favor!"

"I know," Leo expressed his understanding. 

With Eme Clarity's consent, Leo then proposed to her his idea, "To be honest with you, my proposition is actually fairly simple. I just want the both of us to no longer use our Magic Garments. After all, this is the only reason we can't deal even the slightest bit of damage to each other,"

"I agree, but once I remove my Magic Garment, the table would immediately turn into your favor. So, I refuse," Eme Clarity shook her head in refusal. Does Guild Leader Loki really think she is not aware that he is much more capable than her? She had already noticed this fact during the Survival Games when he easily defeated both Emir and Dominic. If it was her in his shoes at that moment, then she can't even begin to imagine just how she can easily deal against one of them, let alone beat them both.

"I fully understand your situation. So how about this; you can still wear armor, however, you can't wear your Magic Garment. While I can only wear ordinary clothes, sounds fair to you?" Leo asked in confirmation.

"Are you for real?!" Eme Clarity really couldn't believe what she had just heard. If she can still wear armor, then this means that she will have the advantage in defense. That is because the only armor other than her Magic Garment inside her Storage Ring right now is an armor made using 3-Star level Magical resources. 

"Yes, I am serious," Leo nodded his head.

"Then, I agree!" Eme Clarity didn't hesitate to agree with Guild Leader Loki's proposal. With her armor, a 1-Star level Magic spell would still remain less effective against her.

Unbeknownst to Eme Clarity, this was precisely what Leo intended to achieve. As long as she is only wearing armor and not a Magic Garment, defeating her would be very easy. After all, regardless of wearing armor, the defense it could provide would still be nothing compared to Magic Garment. Its name having the word 'Magic' alone is already more than enough proof that it is superior in quality and effectiveness compared to armors. 

"Since you are okay with that, then let's sign an Oath," Leo said, to which Eme Clarity agreed. After all, this was to prevent anyone from suddenly backing out on their agreement.

With that being said, both Leo and Eme Clarity signed an Oath to not use Magic Garments in their fight.
